Ben PerleY Poore. the venerahle re.

Ben Perley Poore. the venerable re-
porter, is in a very bad way. The
chances are about nine to two against
his recovery the doctors say. Mr.
Poore is over 20 years of age. He has
written newspaper letters from Wash
ington for more than half century and
is the father of newspaper row."
For years ''PeroleY," as every one
called him, has been conspicuous
figure at the capital, and there is no
man in Washington who has enjoyed
wider personal acquaintance with public
men than he. For over half century
he has observed things from the re-
porter's gallery. and the matter he has
written, the letters that have been pub
lished over his signature. would make
library. He has been intimately as
ISOLATED with all the great statesmen
from the North and with many from
the South. He has been the private
secretary to several of the greatest
men this country has produced, and
there is not man of any prominence
in American history for the las. fifty
years that he has not \ nown personally
and well. He is not expected to live
q great while longer. More than a
year ago he said that if he lived the
summer through he should be very
grateful, and when his book of remin-
iscences, recently published, was COM
pleted, he said he was ready to go.

expired at New York who for at least forty
out of his s~eventy-four years of life converted
his pulpit into a power in the land of his

one of those American constitutions" to which
every cultivated stranger on repairing to the
Empire City Of the New World was necessa-

Mr.. Beecher filed to- repletion each success

peace and c%ontentment to our souls. It was
too warm to stroll around much, but we went
over the Government House and Grounds
escorted by q young Dane and c0loured Off
cial who represented the whole government
in his own person. From the garden we
went up an outside stairway covered with q
Iuxuriant vine, to a. square two-story piazza,
whence we had a superb view of the harbor
and the bar and in the distance the Island of
st. Thomas. Nothing could be prettier than
the steps which bore Town from this piazza,
she lovliest shades of yellow and brown and
olive with the soft grey underneath them,
effects which no one but time could produce.
The young Dane assured me 'they were
soon to be cleaned" which may heaven for
bid. In this sleepy land at least, let US hope
that the ruthless scrubbing brush may not for
ever be at war with the tender hand of time.
If any one wants gracious hospitality, a
delicious table, great cool rooms, lovely
views and dolce far nieRtc let him seek this
place and be at rest. l can't see why it is
not full of people. Our view home was even
more charming than in the morning, cool
breezes played around, the sun went down in
great glory and evening lights and shades on
the hills were enchanting. Our gay little
ponies grew brighter and fresher with every
step, and almost before we knew it, the
wharf and the ships lights began to appear,
